Good news: Cognex launches new DataMan 470 series fixed-mount barcode readers

 On April 23, 2018, Cognex announced the launch of the DataMan 470 series of fixed barcode readers . The DataMan 470 is the fastest, highest-performing barcode reader in Cognex's line of industrial barcode readers and is specifically designed for a variety of high-speed, high-volume manufacturing and logistics applications.

DataMan 470 uses Cognex's new patent-pending imaging technology to easily solve a variety of difficult applications such as automotive component traceability, tire identification, airport baggage handling and automated sorting. DataMan 470 is equipped with High Dynamic Range+ (HDR+) technology, which greatly improves the image quality of 1D and 2D barcodes and provides greater coverage and faster speed than conventional barcode readers. At the same time, it can also read low-contrast codes and ultra-small codes that are invisible to other code readers, and can cover a larger inspection area with fewer cameras, allowing greater variation in processes and reducing equipment design costs. .
“Cognex is proud to introduce this breakthrough technology that sets a new standard for code reading and ease of installation across industries,” said Carl Gerst, senior vice president of Cognex’s Barcode Reader Products Group. "The DataMan 470 reads the toughest codes at surprisingly fast speeds, ensuring it can keep up with ever-increasing line speed and coverage requirements within customer facilities." DataMan 470's scalable technology platform includes multi-core
processing capabilities, advanced decoding algorithms and modular configuration options that significantly increase speed and flexibility. Other technologies, such as Cognex Explorer™ Real-Time Monitoring (RTM), enable customers to analyze code quality metrics to optimize production processes. Like other products in the DataMan industrial code reader series, DataMan 470 also provides the latest optimized DataMan setup tool to ensure that customers can quickly complete the installation setup.
